This set delivers a pair of front rubber radial tires designed for the Associated RC18T platform. The tire profile is built to accept a 40° insert, combining a rubber tread with an internal foam insert to stabilize the contact patch and maintain consistent steering feel under load. This is an RC-scale accessory intended for front fitment on the named chassis.
Installation is straightforward: fit the foam insert inside the tire before mounting to the wheel, ensure the bead seats evenly, and glue the tire to the rim where required. Check fitment clearance with the steering links and suspension travel; minimal trimming of the bead or insert may be needed to avoid rubbing on the hub or body mount.
In tuning terms these front radials primarily influence initial steering bite and mid-corner response. Swapping inserts or changing tire position left-to-right can alter turn-in and transient behaviour without changing other suspension settings. Use them when you need predictable front feel for carpet or asphalt club runs.
